This is my Red, White and Royal Blue
Maybe it's a weird take but Shadow Milk Cookie and Elder Faerie Cookie OBVIOUSLY look like a divorced couple because they interacted like one
I really don't know what happened between them, but for someone as wise and reserved as Elder Faerie to repeat in almost every line something like «no, don't listen to him» or «no, shut your mouth, no, no, stop talking» seemed really strange to me and then I realized this lmao.
No tbh I understand that everyone was crying and upset when Elder Faerie died, but now I'm kinda convinced that he deliberately decided to perish because he knew that Shadow Milk likes to torture his targets with his quizzes and only died to avoid the insane bitter-ex-lore leak
Idk about the stained glass from the treasure gacha, but this thing from the guild museum – isn't this Shadow Milk's portrait?
I don't know about the shapes and all, but he seems to have that braid from the portrait in the silhouette of his past self. Also it says that it's the first headmaster of the Blueberry Yogurt Academy, and since it has so many much of his imagery (the eyes and all), this also might mean that Shadow Milk was the founder of the Academy.
I perfectly understand that Dark Cacao Kingdom is based on Ancient Korea, but since Affogato's clothing design is a mixture of Chinese and Korean ceremonial attire, and Affogato himself is a magician and a priest teacher, can we call him Grandmaster of Doughmonic Cultivation?
I'm a diablerist when I'm bumpin' that
(324) Your name is Escapement. You picked it yourself, because when there's nobody else to assign significance to your existence, you might as well do it yourself.
You are a Decepticon vehicon.
You don't know much, but, contrary to what your commanding officer reckons, even vehicons do know some stuff. For instance, here's a list of vital information you knew this morning:
Life is not fair.
Extenuating circumstances, second chances and begging for your life are privileges for officers only. You're a grunt, so failure means death. The end.
Any mission to destroy Optimus Prime is a suicide mission from the start.
The Decepticon war machine doesn't pay you to ask questions or backtalk. (They don't pay you at all.)
And by midnight, you also know some totally new but equally vital information:
When Megatron assigns you a mission to kill Optimus Prime, you are absolutely, categorically, not actually meant to kill Optimus Prime.
But it's too late to be learning new information now, isn't it? Even your CO looks pitying when he tells you to report to Megatron for your reward...
meme.

So like, I noticed Pre!Corrupted Shadow Milk and Shadow Milk Cookie, his hair changed, and I found this out:
Thing is, I thought the reason why Shadow Milk's hair is short was because he was bored in the tree and decided to cut his bangs out of boredom lol
I want to talk to you about some details in my artworks that, at first glance, seem to make no sense, but they actually do.
Warning: please treat my artworks and lore as something like an original or AU, because they are only loosely connected to canon.
I’m really happy that someone asked why Light Milk had long hair, while Shadow Milk ended up with short hair. I’ll repeat myself, Milk is rejecting his past, he is rejecting "Light Milk." And he’s starting a new chapter in his life as "Shadow Milk." And it’s not as cheerful as you might think, but I’ll talk about that another time.
The second detail, which doesn’t really stand out, is the clothing of the characters throughout the comic. Light Milk was in a completely white nightgown, while Shadow Milk wore a dark dress with blue accents. Is there a hidden meaning here too? Yes! It’s fairly obvious — Milk moved from the light side to the dark, blah, blah, blah…
But wait… Elder Faerie was in dark clothing, and at the end, in light…
Something doesn’t add up, right? Or do you think I just decided to highlight them with contrast so they wouldn’t blend into the same picture?
No, the meaning here is that Light Milk, being in a white nightgown, eventually shifts to the dark side. And when he's in black, he's already on the side of good. And the blue contrast is just a small reference to his eye with the mark.
At the beginning, Elder is in black, and from the start, he was for the light and goodness. But at the end, he’s in white. That’s because Elder Faerie brought back his beloved, and while in canon, he fought until the end for peace, for the kingdom, and gave his life, remaining a hero… Here, Elder Faerie sacrifices the ENTIRE world to save the person he loves. Elder Faerie becomes a villain.
I think you’ve heard the words: "A hero will sacrifice one to save the world. A villain will sacrifice the whole world to save one."
By the way, I mentioned Milk's eyes… But I’ll talk about that some other time. I’ll just say one thing.
Light Milk’s eyes both glow. Shadow Milk can only have one eye glowing.
I strongly recommend looking for details in my artworks, even if they seem absent at first glance)
Maybe this is crazy and unhinged thing to do but I sometimes assign people I know to the vampire clans (of course without telling them) and explain some of their actions to myself based on it, like "oh this guy is so pretentious and always mentions how his family was Polish nobility before the soviets, typical Ventrue behaviour" or "I know what you are, an art student with penchant for weird sculpture and anatomical oddities", or our local gothic witch bars, book stores and cafés in the city center which I presume is Tremere chantry undercover, is there any hope for me.
I fucking hate hanging out with Tzimisce because some of them will be so fucking sexy and then they'll bring this guy into the room like "This is my Grandsire Joe Yogurt".
